. N I G H T S C A P E R • Photo by Royce Moonrise over Wasatch Front Range, Salt Lake City, Utah. This is from last Saturday night, with the "NightScape Photography" Meetup Group that I organize and lead. The clouds rolled in, but we kept shooting. Sometimes the atmosphere adds a moody effect. What do you think? (Swipe to see the other images and read the EXIF specs below.) Check out our group: www.meetup.com/nightscape-photography TIP: Every month, on the night before the full moon, the moon rises at about the same time the sun is setting. That means that there is usually just enough ambient light left to illuminate the landscape — which is why we shot on this night (Oct. 8th) TECHNIQUE & EXIF: Single shot • Sony RX10 iii with built in 24-600mm f/4 lens @ 600mm • f/4, 1/25 sec, ISO 320 • This was a HAND HELD exposure @ 1/25 second! Yes, it can be done with this camera and its 3-axis stabilization! Although I'm normally a Canon shooter, this little Sony stays in the trunk of my car. It's the camera that's always with me. Look up its specs (24mm to 600mm optical range @ f/4), and it will surprise you. . . . . . . . . #nightscaper #nightscape #nightphotography #moon #moonrise #fullmoon #nightimages #nightpics #nightshooterz #astrophotography #ig_nightphotography #night_excl #astronomy #nightcaptures #astro_photography #nightshots
